The newest student group of our Family Herbalism and Apothecary course is enrolling this week!

Imagine enjoying improved health, greater health choices and knowing what to do in acute situations, and having a self-sufficient home medicine chest for your family ALL while saving money, time, and leaving a lasting legacy?

Everyone needs a natural home apothecary, and this is what you'll build while becoming a family herbalist!

In the past four years, we've helped over 2,000 students plan out, organize, and create a customized family medicine chest that is precisely what each of their unique families needs.

All while learning safe, effective foundational family herbalism skills, herbal and essential oil medicine making, formulation and blending practices, and lots more.
